Not scabies: Although I am not sure what you have it certainly does not sound like scabies. It sounds like you should see a dermatologist.

My husband and I have been itching like crazy for awhile now. I have blisters on my hands. My 10-month-old has a rash and dry skin everywhere and a slight itch. Weve tried scabies, lotion, eczema cream, psoriasis treatment, etc and nothing works.
